Installing AA EL without AA Crossbrace plate

Is this possible? I purchased the EL and the resonated pieces separately, and do not have the AA Brace plate. Is it possible to make it fit with the stock brace or will it 100% hit?

Thanks

You can put washers between the body and the brace to spacer it down for clearance.

As long as the exhaust is louder than the clanging, no problems!!

Just get the AA cross brace and have a piece of mind. I have the AA single mid pipe and once an while would hear it rubbing with stock brace with added washers. Once I installed new AA cross brace no more issues.
